Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 2006Brake Job - Unexpected
Hi All, I know I read right here in good ole a.a.d.t, that when getting a brake job done on a Heavy Duty truck, go ahead and opt for new rotors because "it doesn't cost that much more". There is a definite disjoint ... and it could be on my part. However, here is the damage: Brake job from local, friendly Dodge dealer: $150.00 per axle Rotors: $144.00 EACH. Total cost without new rotors ... $300.00 plus TTL. Total cost with new rotors ... $876.00 plus TTL Now, I'm not debating whether or not it's worth it. I'm wondering if 1) I misunderstood or 2) the dealer is charging a bit too much. $576.00 hardly qualifies for the statement "it doesn't cost that much more". Any thoughts?
